About Dr. Kelty:
Dr. Kelty earned his doctorate in Zoology from Miami University in Oxford Ohio in 1999 where he investigated temperature control mechanisms and low-temperature responses of Drosophila melanogaster. During a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago he mastered in-vitro and ex-vivo electrophysiological recording techniques that he has applied primarily to brainstem mechanisms associated with pattern generation. He has explored pattern generation associated with respiration, and has developed extensive expertise regarding the role of the pre-Bötzinger complex in this function. His work has extended into pharmacological explorations of respiratory control involving the pre-Bötzinger complex and surrounding structures. He also continues to explore temperature response mechanisms of Drosophila melanogaster.
